MILLER: Giving up addiction to evil

Before I start, I want to lay my cards on the table. I have what is probably an unhealthy love of Diet Coke. That being said, it pains me to say this: Coca-Cola is a destructive company that practices colonial-style oppression and disregard for the foreign countries in which it operates plants. In an attempt to stave off criticisms of my column, let me also say that I am aware of the criticisms against other soft-drink makers, Pepsi included. Although this column is directed at Coca-Cola, it can be seen as a larger criticism of the soft-drink industry as well, mainly because I can't stand the taste of Pepsi.
